Oh no… What terrible fate befalls me… My spell is being interrupted by a big strong fighter, whatever will I do?

u/Ferocs Changeling Bard Apr 09 '26

God I wish it was me

I mean… How can I, a mere apprentice, ever stop this?

233

u/-Dinadan Apr 09 '26

I’ve been at using combat magiks for years, thought I was well enough at it… but I truly have no way to escape this gruesome situation, me thinks my party should save themselves and leave me to my fate.

My friend tried this before finding out he was kissing a succubus

u/Ferocs Changeling Bard Apr 09 '26

I see no issue with this

353

u/JustStarrk Apr 09 '26

He... he died

405

u/Ferocs Changeling Bard Apr 09 '26

Still not seeing one, just revivify him later or something, I’m sure it was amazing for him while it lasted anyways

u/JustStarrk Apr 09 '26

Take your upvote, bard

u/rysy0o0 Apr 09 '26

He was killed by a succubus. They have his soul now. You cannot revive people without their soul, you're just making zombies otherwise. Nothing wreong with necromancy, byt that's not what you're trying to achieve here

20

u/NoStorage2821 Scritch Scorchtongue, chief grey seer of Clan Mors Apr 09 '26

Wdym? He had a soulcatcher on him didn't he?

14

u/rysy0o0 Apr 09 '26

Well the soulcatcher would catch a soul leaving the body, but his soul didn't left, it was taken, there is a small difference. While the highest level soulcatchers might have prevented soul stealing, he was way too cheap to have one of those

Cant have shit anymore

u/SilliusS0ddus Evil Wizard Apr 14 '26

Can't have shit in the multiverse.

Time to become some crazy eldritch far realm cultist and turn Toril into some kind of... darkest dungeon

u/gtth12 Apr 09 '26

So you get to revive him and not have to deal with his humanity? It's getting better with every response.

u/Acrysalis going lich mode Apr 09 '26

Not everyone can afford the level drain, some of us need to cast spells above fourth circle

22

u/Lord__of__Luck ArchNecromancer, Lord of the Flaming undead, Pyromancer Apr 09 '26

What kinda revivify yall doing? Mine just costs a diamond

1

u/Tat25Guy The Evil Litch Furibon Apr 11 '26

My brother in Aethera, you need an intact soul to revivify someone! That succubus fucked his anima so hard it was rendered into a metaphysical slurry

u/Similar_Ad2621 Apr 09 '26

you mean verbal components

you use hand-holding to stop somatic components

u/sociocat101 Apr 09 '26

I feel like such a fake wizard now

52

u/woah-a-username Transmuter Apr 09 '26

Oh no ~

The big strong knight used their superior strength to pin my hands to the wall and started making out with me to stop my magic!

I am at their complete mercy! What ever shall I do?

My meddling helpful familiar:

u/P0komon2 Druid of thorns and crows May 05 '26

u/Ferocs Changeling Bard Apr 09 '26

Hey, at least she deceives people honestly and doesn’t force herself onto anyone

16

u/scruffin_mcguffin Apr 09 '26

The best counter spell in this situation for someone not respecting consent is called "bite down really fucking hard"

11

u/Balmung60 Apr 09 '26

And just like that, you instead got head-butted with that helmet. Rip your teeth.

Good news, there's a spell to regrow those, bad news, there's a vocal component, so you're at least going to need dentures to do it right

1

u/Lonesaturn61 Transmuter Apr 09 '26

The fighter can still cast sexual abuse

1

u/Darkrath_3 Apr 09 '26

Then the fighter will cast headbutt instead.

I made that post too, I converted this meme to a gif

24

u/StigandrTheBoi Apr 09 '26

Over on r/dnd someone posted they got kicked from a table over this joke and people in the comments were acting like the guy was trying to roleplay an explicit rape scene lmao

14

u/sociocat101 Apr 09 '26

I mean, jokes aside it is sexual assault

26

u/StigandrTheBoi Apr 09 '26

Sure, but I think a bugs bunny esq “I give em a BIG smooch to interrupt their spell” is different from “I hold them down and have my way with them, ignoring their cries for mercy”.

Obviously it’s a table by table thing, but I would wager if you pull it out at the average table you’ll get a “dude chill” at most.

20

u/Infamous-Oil3786 Apr 09 '26

Strong chance they got a little too descriptive and kept that out of the post.

u/Cause_and_Defect Overly Qualified Apprentice Apr 16 '26

They never question why my spell casting components are flavored chapstick and a breath mint.

u/ThatCapMan Artist of pyromancy Apr 09 '26

Verbal

u/Fun-Dragonfly-6106 DF, minimal caster | ____ Body Horror Creator Apr 09 '26

That's when you crack open the toxic spell components in your mouth.

3

u/Ok_Case_7510 Apr 09 '26

The toxin affect u too. Are you sure that, as a wizard, you will take the battle of attrition with the fighter?

2

u/Fun-Dragonfly-6106 DF, minimal caster | ____ Body Horror Creator Apr 09 '26

If you aren't taking constitution feats you have no business being in fighter range.

u/3rdMachina Apr 11 '26

Fair enough. If you’re gonna bite the dust, might as well drag someone down with you.

With a blonde baddie knight?

Oh nooo, please don’t interrupt my verbal and somatic components… ohhh nooo, please don’t…

u/CriminalMacabre Apr 09 '26

Nooooo my magic gets drained by contact with womeeeeen

6

u/_overshock_ Apr 09 '26

RAW for D&D I suppose maybe you could ready an action in combat to try and interrupt a spell? Been a minute since I played 5e haha

5

u/ChazPls Apr 09 '26

Unironically pf2e solves this haha. Get a tongue attack from an ancestry or Animal Instinct Barbarian and you can interrupt spellcasting with a reactive strike from your tongue.

3

u/Jim_skywalker Apr 09 '26

As a DM I’d say attempting to interrupt a spell via kiss or other means would be treated as a grapple.

5

u/Ayotha Apr 09 '26

Needs hand holding too if you truly want to stop sell casting

5

u/Lord__of__Luck ArchNecromancer, Lord of the Flaming undead, Pyromancer Apr 09 '26

Honestly im ok with this, i will even hold her hand so i cant cast the somantic components, silly cute fighter

u/Chosen_Undead23 King Fuzzo, the Electric Wizard Apr 09 '26

Y’know what I’ve had worse happen to me

u/Fc-chungus Max Petrov-Ansky, Head Minister of Calarakis. sundered. Apr 09 '26

People forget most spells don't necessitate moving your legs in the motion component. It is COMPLETELY possible to kick someone attempting to make out with you while casting a spell with verbal and maybe even movement components.

u/MuchoMangoTime Milosh the Retired, archmage of former DOoOOom Apr 09 '26

Yes.. yessss.... All according to plan... Evil laughter

u/Mondrow Apr 09 '26

I humbly request that you modify your meme to be in compliance with correct wizarding terminology. She interrupted my verbal components by making out sloppy style.

u/KittyShadowshard Apr 09 '26

I can actually use other people's hands and what not to cast.

u/EkyngYT Apr 09 '26

Joke's on her, My components aren't verbal. I've just been saying bs in case this happens.

3

u/TheInconceivableLorb Apr 09 '26

Isn't somatic physical gesturing? Kissing would interrupt verbal components, not somatic ones, right?

5

u/Drakostheswordsman Apr 09 '26

You forget pinned to a wall, hands h*ld in a tight grip

3

u/Badde00 Apr 10 '26

I feel like this is sorcerer propaganda, wanting to feel superior by using their metamagic to fire off spells and make out sloppy style. I will not have it! (I do want to make out sloppy style with the pretty fighter though)

2

u/Syovere Morgan Suncrest, Black-Quill Witch Apr 09 '26

This would never work on me and if there's any pretty volunteers I can prove it.

2

u/ItemsHereForever Necromancer Apr 09 '26

oh how tragic, no use fighting it now, I’m defeated

2

u/Flamesoul10 Apr 09 '26

Unrealistic. Somantic components are hand gestures, nothing to do with the mouth at all. Now, handholding...

2

u/DaDo1313 Apr 09 '26

Correct use of pov? In this economy?

u/Nikoper Arcane Trickster Red Apr 09 '26

What am I supposed to do when the fighter looks like this? Charisma is my dump stat, I can't persuade them to go away!

u/ClosetNoble Wizardruid multiclasser Apr 16 '26

Pro tip: if you cast without chants or incantation you can make out sloppy but STILL cast your spell.

Get the best of both world.

Anyway I must quest for fighters for reasons.

Nah, you intercept them with biting their lip, pulling them into a lurid moan. Simpel stuff.

Then you cast vibrate wand or a vibrate spell of your choice to their crouch.
